We are keen to support students from Ukraine who wish to study at the University of Dundee whether you have applied already or not. We also have several funding and support schemes in place, depending on your status as explained on this page.

We have reached out to all our current students from Ukraine and neighbouring countries to offer practical support and advice.

For transfers from a Ukrainian university

If you are a transfer applicant who has started studying at a Ukrainian university and wish to complete your studies with us, we welcome an application to transfer into a course which matches your interrupted studies. Look at the subjects and courses we offer on our website to find a suitable match. If we are unable to offer you a place on the course you have selected to study, we will support you to find an appropriate match.

It is important to give as much information about what you have studied already so that we can review the modules you have completed and ensure we match you with the most appropriate course. We will also have to assess your level of English language.

Unfortunately, we cannot offer transfers into our Undergraduate Medicine course. Applicants wishing to transfer must start their studies from Year 1.
